Days 42-43, arriving in Gotland

Hey yall.. sorry I couldn't update yesterday, but we left around 7 pm, and boarded the huge boat around 11:45 pm. The boat docked around 2:30-2:45 am, and we got to the campsite about an hour later; however, check in didn't open til 9 am, so we had to park off to the side and Karin, Micke, and Pontuss had to sleep in the van while the rest of us moved into the camper. We slept from about 4 am - 9 am. Then we had breakfast around 11:30, and hit the beach soon after. I came up for good around 4, and went for a run around the island... it was such a pretty view, the only downside was the bugs that kept flying up my nose and in my throat making me want to puke. 


I just got the internet working, but it's a weak signal and goes in and out. We are waiting for the rest of the family to get back from the store with stuff to grill out for dinner. The campsite is really nice, and there are bathrooms with showers available... but you have to pay 5 krona for 3 minutes of shower time!! Karin said she is giving each of us 200 krona for ice cream for the week... but I will most likely be skipping the ice cream and using that money on my showers! 


Anyways.. the boat ride was pretty interesting. The seats were similar to a plane, but there were multiple rows of 2 seats going really far back. We were at the front of the ship, and I laid down on the ground after about an hour to try and get some sleep. 


I'm not sure what our exact plans are for the upcoming days.. but I do know we will be at this campsite for 4 nights, and then moving to another one. And one of the last days is when we are going to Gotland's huge water/amusement park! 


I'll try to post pictures along the way... if I'm not able, they will be posted next week when we are back!
